Bulgari's New High Jewellery Inspired by the Garden of Eden

The Italian brand demonstrates just why it has no equal when it comes to the crafting of exquisite high jewellery

Bulgari showcased more than 400 high jewellery creations at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre recently, which also included breathtaking masterpieces from its new Eden The Garden of Wonders High Jewellery collection.

Here are some of the highlights:

Blooming Beauty necklace

Above Blooming Beauty necklace and earrings

A contrast of pink, purple, green and blue gems distinguishes this geometric necklace inspired by delicate petals. It took a year to complete, and features a 35.72-carat Colombian emerald and Paraiba tourmalines in a splendid shade of blue.

Serpenti Fruit Garden necklace

Amethysts and rubellites creep around the necklace to create feminine design that evokes power and seduction.

Serpenti Misteriosi Riviera watch

Crafted in the shape of a snake, Bulgari's eternal symbol of rebirth and wisdom, the watch boasts a dazzling composition of brilliant-cut diamonds and cabochon rubellites set using the fil couteau technique that makes the gems look as if they are floating. To tell time, just look beneath the head of the snake.

Ocean Weave necklace

Inspired by the oceans, this necklace features a 26.74-carat cushion-cut Sri Lankan blue sapphire paired with a constellation of sparkling diamonds.

Heart of Rome necklace

The Heart of Rome necklace is inspired by Villa Borghese—one of the most famous gardens in Rome. It's anchored by a magnificent Colombian emerald weighing 42.31 carats, highlighting the maison's mastery in stone-cutting.

Emerald Venus watch

Decked in diamonds and emeralds in baguette, pave and round brilliant-cut settings, this watch took five different artisans and 900 hours to achieve the perfect harmony of sparkle and sophistication.
